Find out they fight the 3500000 kenyans living in senegal will not be able to take part in the president ial election. American voters were asked to tune in to dueling televised events on thursday with President Donald Trump a democratic candidate joe biden both vying for their attention they were grilled on subjects ranging from the coronavirus to conspiracy theories the town halls were broadcast as an alternative to a virtual town hall that both candidates which trump a turndown added gallagher reports. The answers that the president gave were fairly a very. Very good there were some interesting moments he didnt really get many tough questions from the audience on the coronavirus he kept the line hes always kept that hes done a great job save thousands if not millions of lives that he acted quickly when he put travel bans in place for china and europe and once again he blamed china on his taxes which was a big issue in the last debate he didnt deny that he was 400000000 dollars in debt that was an interesting moment on masks he didnt really say or commit to the fact that masks help stop the spread of the coronavirus in fact he came up with some fake statistic that 85 percent of people Wearing Masks actually caught 19 but one of the more interesting moments was about q. And a Conspiracy Theory from the right that says the democrats have paedophiles and devil worshippers and trump is their savior heres what the president had to say i know nothing about it i just tried you know very little each of me but what you tell me doesnt necessarily make it shocked i hate to say that they know nothing about it but you do know they are very much against pedophilia and they should fight it very hard but they know nothing and they believe that if you like an agent actually i think ill tell you what i do know about i know about him and i know about the radical left and i know how violent they are in a vicious they are and i know how theyre doing them cities run by democrats if youre an undecided voter im not sure how much you would have taken away from the president s debate last night i think it was a pretty solid performance even though he was quite vague about things but the big loss here is that these 2 men biden and trump didnt meet as was planned they were supposed to meet in miami on thursday night of course the president didnt do that so im not sure what voters would have got out of this 2 separate julan debates. Meanwhile the philadelphia Vice President biden was more measured but still managed to land some punches hi joe castro reports the predominant topic that biden really seized upon here in philadelphia was cold particularly knowing that 3 Staff Members or people work or close to his campaign and that of his running mate Caroline Harris tested positive for covert just within the last few hours and in fact that caused harris to cancel the remaining of her in Person Campaign events for this week well jill biden really focused on president trumps handling of the pandemic with 217000 americans having died of the virus and joe biden defending his own stance on encouraging everyone to wear masks you and i know and i think you do too as well the words of a president matter absolutely no matter whether theyre good bad or indifferent they matter and when a president doesnt wear masks or makes fun of folks like me when i was wearing a mask for a long time then you know people say well it must be that important so biden is leading significantly in National Polls 10 to 11 Percentage Points over trump his Campaign Setting out tonight to not really stir that pot much and they may very well have accomplished that you and i know and i think you do too as well the words of a president matter absolutely no matter whether theyre good bad or indifferent they matter and when a president doesnt wear masks or make fun of folks like me when i was wearing a mask for a long time then you know people say well it must be that important. At one point the host in miami criticized the president for boosting various conspiracy theories about his rival. Just this week you reached we did to your 87000000 followers a Conspiracy Theory that a job i didnt work history did to help seal team 6 the Navy Seal Team 6 killed to cover up the for the face the death of bin ladin now why would you send a lie about not taking it all over even each week that is a read tweet that was a opinion of somebody and that was a retreat ill put it out there people can decide for themselves i didnt take the position like someones crazy uncle he was really whatever that was a read tweet and i do a lot of retreats and frankly because the media is still shape and still corrupt if i didnt have social media to call it twitter a close associate media i wouldnt be able to get the word out and the one of the worst phone or more americans voting earlier than ever before election day could now become the 1st in u. S. History where most ballots have been cost before hand long lines for go outside Voting Centers in North Carolina on thursday on the 1st day of early voting across the country 15000000 people voted so far the kurdistan politician freed from prison by protesters just days ago has been appointed interim president cited jumpoff was made Prime Minister on wednesday but has now assumed the presidency after the resignation of 7 by jeenbekov parliament has ended a state of emergency in the capital bishkek it had been announced and days of unrest triggered by disputed elections a new vote is to be held within 90 days lets go live now to eastern kurdistan officers Charles Stratford is the charles theres a lot of opposition to the new Prime Minister and acting president what level of support does he have among the general population. Now thats right there is a lot of opposition to the new Prime Minister and acting president sons or japan certainly certainly in the cities the capital bishkek people hey saying that he voted his way into into power they say that his supporters were very intimidating we saw them during those protests rushing Peaceful Demonstrations using stones and sticks with a factor of the matter is as you say mr powell has a lot of support in this country we were in the rural heartland all of his support base yesterday in the north all of the country speaking to some of his supporters actually in the very village where he was born people telling us they describe him as being a bit of a hero they say that he was unjustly jailed that 11 year jail term that he was in for kidnapping before he was freed by protesters during the protests they describe him as being in their words one of us they said that they were very happy with the kind of comments that hes made for example about nationalizing the largest gold mine in this country a gold mine that at the moment is fully owned by canada or a Canadian Company they said that he was very supportive of their land rights and in protecting their civil rights in the country. But. Of course you know there are even reservations among those supporters one man actually said that he met your power of a few years ago you described him as being a good man but said that he personally warned him to do well for them but not to shame them so you know there are a lot of questions about about this new Prime Minister and acting. Acting president and of course huge questions just how clean and fair these promised parliamentary elections and president ial elections will be when they are eventually held so for the moment for the chaos may have been averted in the Country Parliament been saying about all of this. Well there was another parliamentary session the smalling that was primarily to vote voted yes towards vote yes in agreement with president jeenbekov statement yesterday that he was going to resign that vote went through and mr jeenbekov gave a statement saying that he had tried to return the country to a rule of law to the rule of law he thanked so what he described is easy you partners turkey and russia very interesting the kind of role that russia has had in recent weeks we know that they have been russian officials here russia but im a putin that is very nervous about any further chaos in this country russia has big interests here for example it owns and maintains all the Gas Infrastructure it has a big military base here as well also in this session we heard from the Prime Minister and acting president mr rove. And he said that president ial elections would have to be held no longer the 90 days from today the official date of the president s. Resignation but still no word on a date for parliamentary elections we understand the rumor is that both parliamentary and president actions could be held on the same day and thats for the basic fact that there isnt enough money to hold them on separate dates but as you say certainly this morning it seems that a very serious crisis or a worsening of the situation has been averted under serious chance stratford reporting live from eastern koga stanchions many thanks recorded corona virus infections have reached a new daily high of more than 380000 worldwide in europe numbers continue to watch italy set a one day record for infections and its highest death toll in months germany also sort unprecedented spike with more than 7000. 00 new cases reported there.

Deaths and it means more economic pain later because the virus comes down slower than it goes up but there are questions over whether this goes far enough with the opposition and many scientists instead advocating a short sharp nationwide lockdown not just regional restrictions here in london the new measures will impact 3000 jobs and 7000 restaurants cereal we were viewed every 2 weeks but most of these businesses have already made their orders for the month and this stopping and starting to cripple them and many in europe find theyre in a similar situation france has declared a Public Health state of emergency and impose an 8 pm curfew in paris and 8 other cities hospital admissions are at their highest level since june.

S. Infectious diseases expert is criticizing a declaration by a group of scientists that supports the concept of herd immunity Dr Anthony Fauci says backing the idea that the disease will stop spreading once the early everyones contracted it is ridiculous. If you just let things rip and let the infection go no masks crowd it doesnt make any difference that quite frankly george is ridiculous because what that will do is that there will be so many people in that community that you cant shelter that you cant protect who are going to get sick and get serious consequences so this idea that we have the power to protect the vulnerable is total nonsense because history has shown that thats not the case because many countries tighten their coronavirus restrictions some are relaxing this from friday people from new zealand will be able to travel to parts of australia without the need to quarantine its the 1st step in a socalled travel bubble scheme to reconnect the neighbors new zealand has no infections apart from people in managed isolation but australia is fighting to control its outbreak historians are not allowed to travel the other way to do zealand.
